Question: If you say that directly grasping and bearing an objective aspect and transformationally bearing an outward form resembling an archetype constitute the two conditions—immediate and remote—then external material dharmas would also constitute the two conditions, immediate and remote. For instance, when a mirror illuminates a person, on the mirror's surface it can also directly grasp the person's reflection; since the person's reflection is not separate from the mirror's surface, it should constitute an immediate objective condition. Moreover, the mirror's surface vis-à-vis the external archetype of the person should constitute a remote objective condition.
